Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 small white onions, sliced into 1/4 inch thin rounds
- 7 oz shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
For Serving
- Lazy Tzatziki (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400℉ (204℃) and line a 12×17 inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare the cheese base: Evenly sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese across the lined baking sheet, creating a thin and uniform layer as the foundation for the onion chips.
- Arrange the onion slices: Place the 1/4 inch onion rings onto the cheese layer, making sure they are positioned right next to each other without overlapping, ensuring even baking and crispiness.
- Add oil and seasoning: Brush the tops of the onion rings lightly with olive oil. Then season them evenly with salt, garlic powder, and paprika to enhance flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 18 minutes, or until the cheese and onion rings turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool for 5-10 minutes, which helps them firm up for better texture. Break into clusters and serve alongside Lazy Tzatziki dip if desired.
Notes
- Use white onions for a milder, sweeter flavor; red onions can be used but may alter the taste slightly.
- Ensure onion slices are uniform in thickness for even baking.
- Brush olive oil sparingly to avoid sogginess but still help seasoning adhere and improve crispness.
- Customize seasoning by adding chili powder or cayenne for a spicy kick.
- These chips are best eaten the same day for optimal crispiness.
- Lazy Tzatziki dip enhances the flavor, but these chips can be enjoyed on their own.
